If I’m not mistaken, Herb describes why that happened  in the documentary.

One of the wheelie bars broke ,not enough time to fix so Buddy Martin made the decision to pull both bars off

[Scott Eriksen]

..........progress report rough in/mockup of something that resembles a 4 link/wheelie bars and Dana 60 (I used the pro street GTX for that) .Changed from rear steer to front and cobbling up a rack and pinion,,it should clear the headers if not I have to use solder to make them.Cobble up front disc brakes,rears were still drum. Fab up front motor plate . Start some body work-fill the cowl vent /fuel cap/side markers / I have to trim the rear wheel openings a bit ,,,the actual car had them stretched a bit anyway .Guardsmen Blue paint ordered from MCW which I believe is correct ,,the red will be decals with McCandless lettering ........hopefully it will all come together,,,lol .Oh yeah I used the Nova pro street kit for the floor pan/chassis wheelbase is darn near perfect.Hemi will have D5 heads and tunnel ram and deep oil pan from a JoHan pro street cuda kit/3D print headers (if they clear ,,its close in mock up)

Hey Scott I’ll be watching this one closely. I love a good kit bash! I didn’t even consider the Pro Street Nova Chassis for my build,  I assumed it wouldn’t be close to fitting. My Billy the Kid is stalled on the bunch right now having to deal with life. I love what your doing and can’t wait to see it finished!

Thanks Roger,,I got the body painted and decaled ,,,I'll put up some pics.......I have a clearance problem with the dual distributors and the hood so I have to work that out before I mount the body,,I probably should have built the engine up more during mock up rather than just a long block 

[Scott Eriksen]

Body done,have to fit side glass,,,,, I have to pull out the distributors and drive and try to lower them ,,,during test fit the hood won't clear!,,,just a bit ,,,but you know how that works ! lol 

[Nitro330]

Awesome job Scott!  What's a build without something not fitting when you got to put it together  .  The Nova chassis really worked out well and the body looks fantastic!
